Now that he's back at work, Nika decides to exercise more. He doesn't know why she's coming back, but he'd like to think that she wants to test him. He's worried that if she does, she'll take him back to the company, and he'll feel bad about letting her do it. Nika says that he can't trust anyone to do anything for him, and that he has to go on his own to do his work. He decides to go to his boss's workshop instead of going to Nika's. He says that his mother's death has made him feel powerless, but that's just the way it is.
